Pre-trip Feelings

I'm nervous. I'm nervous about the language, making friends, classes, bonding with my host family, my sleep...off the top of my head.

I'm excited. I'm excited about the food, the scenery, the excursions, bonding with my host family, and making friends.

But mostly I'm nervous. I'd rather learn to swim BEFORE I get thrown in the lake, if you can see that analogy. I know that's illogical, but it's how I feel, and my feelings are nothing if not illogical.
